Starry Starry Night

Tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, his vision, and his art."Starry Night is a wonderful perfume- a Masterpiece!" - Monica Miller
Starry Starry Night is a perfume that celebrates the perception and painting of Vincent, and his own celebration of the earth, the sky, the clouds, the haystacks, the sunflowers, the regular hardworking people, - the beauty in everyday places that Vincent revelled in and painted for the world to share, and in that inimitable style all his own that so many people now hold as wonderful.
"I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream." - Vincent Van Gogh
Starry Starry Night perfume is a dream from the painting - to share the essences of swirling lights in the night sky, of perfumed fires on a hundred hearths, being grateful for the resplendent flowers lilting on the evening breeze; of the links between earth below and the heavens above -- of wind and breath, smoke and love.
Notes: Orangeblossom Absolute, Ylang, Cucumber, Clovebud Absolute, Meyer Lemon, Petitgrain, Frankincense, Smoked Pinewood, Cypress leaves and Absolute, Green Myrtle, Cardamom, Olibanum wood, Sandalwoods Mysore and Australian, Treemoss, Choya Loban,

Ginger Zest de Citron

Inspired by zesty summer drinks from my time in other countries, where you often get very nice and new combinations of things put into refreshing drinks... YUM!
"...modern spiced citrus in uplifting Ginger Zest de Citron."
- Elena Knezhevich who co-founded Fragrantica
Ginger and zesty citruses, with some spices including a very light dose of curry spices. A fresh Floral bouquet compliments the ginger and spices, held together at the bottom with Sandalwood, musks, and a touch of leather. Cool, Refreshing, and interesting...

Ere

- air, before, early, morning, a memory.
A fresh green forest fragrance which took more than two years to complete. Before Red Leather, I considered Ere my best. I have worked on Ere for more than two years. Especially for Ere, I go into the California Sierra mountains and harvest a fern and process it to use in the fragrance. I know of only one other perfumer who is using this fern in their work.

Dirty Rose

A dirty red rose. But not quite so dirty as I was asked to make it; This is a *nice* dirty... But the customer wanted to mix in with it some genuine musk, and then they also asked for an oud blend to mix in too.
The other components are not in this mixture because Michal Gizinski smelled it, and he said, "Oh, don't touch it. It's perfect, better than Killian's Rose."

Cafe Diem

Seize the Day!
A delicious blend of Coffee, Absinthe, whiskey, sweet spices, incense and vetiver.
"-the cozy atmosphere of a small party at home, where the crowd smokes, drinks and talks." - Elena Knezhevich who co-founded Fragrantica
